Fast, efficient agents for chip design and debug

We're building AI-native tools & agent-driven workflows for frontend chip design. Today, Fortune enterprises and chip unicorns license Silimate to hit their PPA targets and functional closure in days instead of months. With Silimate, chip companies tape out better, more market-competitive chips much more quickly.

TL;DR: Silimate helps chip teams converge to functional correctness and optimized PPA faster, so that they can build better chips in less time.

❌ The Problem

The world needs specialized semiconductor chips to be built faster for the rapidly-evolving software workloads in datacenters and at the edge.

Yet, chip teams today face time- and effort-intensive bottlenecks in converging to functional correctness and optimized PPA (power/performance/area). These bottlenecks account for most of the typical 12-18 month chip development cycle, and impede chip teams’ ability to make important changes to their designs in late project stages — when real, data-driven issues tend to surface from simulations.

✨ Our Solution

Silimate finds functional bugs, predicts PPA issues, and recommends real fixes in real-time alongside RTL development. Chip designers get a context-aware RTL companion that helps them write correct, PPA-optimized RTL from the onset, and build better chips in less time.

We’re live with chip design teams today.

If you’re a chip designer or lead a chip design team, we can help you eliminate weeks/months from your design cycles. Reach out to us to schedule a live demo!

🌎 Why Now

Death of Moore’s Law, an explosion of custom chip architectures, geopolitics, talent shortage, massive demand for AI chips, and increasing complexities in advanced chip design – we’re building the critical pickaxe for the AI and edge silicon renaissance.
